The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Look at what we made our cat. She has her own bedroom now 🥰 #cat #DiaDeMuertos #offenda #lego #spoiled #CatLady

#showmeyourknits horror story week, this Haruni shawl had multiple mishaps. the white yarn became a huge tangled mess that left me in tears. At some point near the end, a stitch snapped and started unwinding. I was able to felt and stitch it back together luckily. 🧶#knit

Since it’s hat week for #showmeyourknits I’ll share my other hats too! I made three of these and entered these two in the county fair. These were my first colorwork project. Learned a lot! 🧶

I’ve made a lot of hats, they’re usually what i practice a new skill with. This one is my favorite! #showmeyourknits 🧶🧶

I’ve never knit socks, so can’t do #showmeyourknits this week, but I’ve finally finished my first sweater (even though I had to make short sleeves). Love how it came out! Made for my cat crazy kid. #knitting #cat 🧶

Please for the love of god make this happen! 9 months a year I sleep so poorly

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

“This one goes out to all the folks in Chicago who are relatively safe, and who want to do something but don’t know where to begin…” Great advice from Gabe of Protect Rogers Park. Time to flood the zone

The blood of our martyred journalists in Gaza has not yet dried before the Israeli occupation forces committed another crime against Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammed Salama, together with three other photojournalists.

Finally my time to shine! #showmeyourknits this week is shawls. They are my favorite to knit with all the lace options. Just won a people’s choice award for one of them at my county fair too! #Knit #lace 🧶

FLASHBACK: “I am a goal for those people. If I’m not up there untaxed… they’ve got nothing to dream about.” Colbert was incredible. Since CBS doesn’t appreciate him maybe he should go back to this genius character? We could sure use it now. 🇺🇸 H/T @rbreich.bsky.social

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate. Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies. Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.

I don’t know why but I walked into the Barnes and noble today and bought the communist manifesto, a foraging book, a book about rocks and gems, and Siddhartha. I support Rage buying revolutionary books

strange times. local bookseller just stared me in the eyes and wordlessly gave me a 20% discount on this pile of books by Ho Chi Minh

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

Finished my Pi shawl today. Pattern is “EZ Camping Pi Shawl” and free on Ravelry. Realized I need another set of blocking mats haha can’t believe I started knitting a year ago. #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits #knit #lace

Funny how the establishment is busy writing “strongly worded” letters when it comes to Trump, yet it also had no problem spending millions to stop Zohran from winning against Andrew Cuomo in a Democratic primary. Makes you think.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

We were sent this video from the cauliflower harvest in Santa Maria CA. Workers tell us: It's very hard, backbreaking work. We're constantly bending down cutting the vegetable w/a knife and standing up and putting it on a conveyor belt. #WeFeedYou

Every spring, walking the mountain commonage, I find many native tree seedlings: rowan (circled), birch, willow... But with the next passing sheep, they're gone. Virtually ALL Ireland is overgrazed. Lifting that artificial pressure would bring the most miraculous transformation. #Rewilding 🌎

I don’t know why this made me brush up on my Latin declensions so that I could accurately interpret a similar sentiment, but here we are in anno domini 2025

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

They didn’t just kill Black voters. They erased Ocoee. In 1920, Black residents tried to vote. White mobs lynched them and burned the town to ash. Ocoee stayed all white for 60 years. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they buried. Read it before they ban that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
